Showcase: a YouTube explainer edit

Most launches never get a video. A green screen fills with little person icons and a counter, a calendar grid for the last 12 months, a terrace b-roll shot with words appearing one at a time, a glitch "good chunk of", a red "never gets a video", and a line chart.

The chart is labelled sample data. These are not real numbers, they show the edit style. Silent, like the edit we were matching.

How we made it

1. One generated b-roll still of a person working on a terrace.
2. Icons, the calendar, the glitch and the chart are HTML and SVG.
3. Captions appear word by word, the way YouTube editors cut them.
4. The real version of this format is mostly a talking presenter. We did not include one.

How your agent can make one

Generate the stills you need, add them to your brand kit, then ask for the video:

POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "16:9", "brief": "person working on a laptop on a sunny terrace, candid, warm light" }

POST /v1/explainers
{
  "brandId": "<your brand kit>",
  "aspect": "16:9",
  "captions": true,
  "brief": "30 second YouTube style explainer edit about why most launches never get a video. Counter, calendar, b-roll with word by word captions, glitch emphasis, a chart marked sample data."
}

Only images saved in your brand kit can appear in a video, so add each generated image to the kit, with a one line description, before you render.

What it costs

That is $1.80 on the $10 starter pack.
